Well I would have thought keeping the server online for longer is your no 1 priority so, if you had not purchased a monitor ups you could have invessted in a 1000va + ups for the server and stuck a tiny one on the pc to shut it down gracfully.

UPS is not really meant for working normally during a power outage it is to allow you to save work and shut down. on a server you need a longer time so as to avoid disruption to your users. ie giving them a decent warning etc.

If you want to keep working through anything more than abrownout etc then you need a ups/generator mix...
